my snake has a red nose.

Question
i don't know if the question i put through yesterday worked but my California king has a very red nose. i introduced him to a new type of sand from the local pet store and i removed it after his nose became red but him worried he might be sick as well from this red nose. you wouldn't happen to know what is going on would you?

Answer
Do you normally use sand with your cal king? I know I use it with desert kingsnakes but with other types I use aspen, forest bedding, or bark depending on what type. If he was burrowing around in it, then he might have irritated it. Keep an eye on it and change the bedding. It should heal up pretty easily and next shed should be all better.
